This isn't a book about addiction--it's a book about recovery. Written for every loved one, community member, and recovery professional who wants to know how to help, Recovery Allies offers real-world solutions, evidence-based strategies, and hope for those living in recovery from substance use disorder. This is the first to comprehensively approach our addiction crisis from a community perspective, and is structured around the key pillars of recovery as identified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): home, health, purpose, and community. It shows you a different way to think about addiction--and what you can do to help in all your spheres of influence. Most adults with substance use disorder don't receive specialized treatment like counseling, medication, or rehab. Instead, the recovery journey starts in their communities, among family and friends--here and now, with their recovery allies.
